For the Love of . . . Hot Bodyguards?

Someone in the office started a rumor that The Bodyguard was going to be remade with Beyoncé and Ryan Reynolds.

Then someone said that Hugh Jackman and Miley Cyrus were going to play the classic roles.

Needless to say, the place went ballistic.

Part of the team felt Reynolds simply couldn't fill Kevin Costner's shoes (“Beyoncé needs a MAN!”) and part of the team became outraged on the basis that you can't remake the unremakable. (“It's like . . . it's like remaking Footloose!”)

No one was willing to discuss Cyrus in the same breath as our beloved Wolverine and our copy editor attempted to delete this sentence several times to make the idea go away.

After a giant sing-along of “I Will Always Love You,” we were still unable to identify two current movie stars who could make the idea of a Bodyguard remake palatable.

Really, is there any duo in the world that can bring back the magic of 1992?

I have to admit, I didn't see the remake. I saw the Judy Garland verson. But If you are going to have Beyonce what about having Daniel Craig as the bodyguard.
Or reverse the rolls have a male singer and female body guard... in that case hum.....Tim McGraw and perhaps Jennifer Lopez?? or Josh Groban and Haley Berry?? or reverse the two women? Interesting what ifs

This movie was released when I was working for NATO. So I saw it in Belgian theater in English with Flemish substitles. Those subtitles are forever imprinted on my brain whenever I hear "I will always love you ...".

Hey Liz.. not to worry... I'm just older than the average romance writer LOL. Now I might be in error. I thought the Body guard was a twist on the old movie A STAR IS BORN
So I might be wrong. UGH.. To me the story lines are somewhat similar.. singer involved.
